JiGGi
The goal of this course is to create new instances of
Tangible Interfaces which bridge the gap between people,
bits and atoms, and go beyond the current dominant model
of Graphical User Interface (GUI) bound to a flat rectangular
screen, windows, mouse, and keyboard. These new
interfaces should take advantage of natural physical
affordances to achieve a legibility and seamlessness of interaction not achievable with traditional GUI.

JIGGI
This extrudes the Sensetable graspable interface into a 3d projection plane system.
A Jiggi device, is a system which tracks the positions of intelligent
objects on to multiple tabletop surfaces, and projects information onto these objects. 
This allows the combination and the advantages of physical interaction with the dynamic
qualities of graphical displays in 3d.  The use of a small electronically tagged magnetic
Quill serves as a physical icon for the containment, transport, and manipulation of
the 3d modeling data.  In this case the data is Landscape Ecology information.

The Jiggi unit is used to alter anything from spheres of watershed engagement
to plotting wind course corrections.  An ecological model is projected in multiple views at
once thus providing sectional layouts and vector based information.  Here the
projections can be manipulated to alter the object or reveal hidden relationships
